The History of Graphic Design by Jens Muller

The History of Graphic Design by Jens Muller

In this mighty first volume, Jens Muller traces 70 years of graphic design, designers, and developments from the late 19th century through the economic boom after World War II, spanning designs that would form the basis for further revolutions.

“Jens Müller ambitiously traces not only the evolution of an industry, but also the arc of our aesthetics” * TIME *
“Chronicle, treasure of pictures, source of ideas—and above all, great fun.” * spiegel.de *
“Graphic design history is a cultural, political, social, and technological history. Since it is impossible to understand one without the other, this book, which looks at the legacy and heritage of graphic design, is an essential portal to our appreciation of the world’s history.” * Steven Heller *

Jens Müller was born in Koblenz, Germany, in 1982 and studied graphic design.
